Wicked Wiki
- Global Blocks are discussed in this Wicked Wiki thread.
Exporting or backing up presets with Global Blocks
- When backing up a preset with global blocks, you also always need to backup the System too, to get access to the global data.
Modifier parameters and controller settings not stored in Global Blocks
- Modifier settings are not saved within Global Blocks. The same goes for controllers settings. You can use Effect Recall to copy controller settings from one preset to another.
Saving On/Off state
- As of firmware 6.00 the state (On/Off) of a Global block is saved per preset. This means you can set Global Block #1 Off in one preset, and On in another.
Before 6.x the On/Off state was shared by all presets.
- If you want global control of the bypass state of an effect block (pre 6.0-behavior), here's a solution:
- Attach the Bypass parameter of the effect block to an External controller.
- In the I/O menu, switch the External controller between 0% or 100% to change the effect's Bypass state. Or assign a switch on your foot controller to the MIDI CC of the External Controller to switch the block.
- This works with global and non-global blocks, and across all presets with the same effect block.
